{{OperatorAssistanceNeeded}}
This bot appears to be malfunctioning and has been blocked. Anyone may unblock this bot after the operator believes the bot is repaired, or shows that it is not malfunctioning. In addition to the non-helpful edits above this bot appears to be loosing records when moving them to archives. I am currently attempting to fix the archive. Please review both the edits to WP:MFD and the archive page. To prevent data loss, perhaps the bot can confirm a write to the archive page before performing the delete on the main page? — xaosflux ^Talk 02:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Withdrawn by operator. --uǝʌǝs ʎʇɹoɟ ʇs(st47) 12:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
